[Successful treatment of severe purulent peritonitis against the background of intraperitoneal hypertension syndrome (clinical case)].

Abstract

Traditional surgical treatment of widespread purulent peritonitis has some disadvantages that emphasizes the need for new approaches to postoperative care. The authors present successful treatment of diffuse purulent peritonitis using a combination of 'open abdomen' technology and VAC therapy. This approach reduces abdominal inflammation and intra-abdominal pressure. Combination of 'open abdomen' technology and VAC therapy provides effective control of inflammation and stabilization of patients with purulent peritonitis.
